My take on the retrocomputing scene are about not letting the good
ideas get lost. The hardware side has mostly kept up all the ideas that
were worth keeping, but we have lost, or nearly lost, a lot of ideas 
on the software side. There are still stuff from Multics, Tops20 and
even CTSS that aren't in the computer mainstream; even though we would
benefit greatly from some of them.

The smartphones of today are at supercomputer levels of performance
related to the early 1980s. The odroid/hardkernel and raspberrypis are
releases of somewhat open versions of the SOCs that run these phones.

A raspberrypi-3 has a clock speed of 1.2GHz, 4 processors, a memory bus speed
of several hundred Mhz. The ordoid xu4 has 4x2Ghz + 4x1.4GHz processors, 
2G ram, a memory bus of 800 Mhz. This would probably outperform a cray1.

Even a mere arduino, the significantly smaller than a matchbox size
computer that runs at 50mA @ 5V; or less than a quarter of a watt. This
has 32k flash, 2k ram+ 1k eeprom. And runs at 16Mhz. This is like a pdp8, 
only lots faster and a _lot_ less power hungry.

However, with the software we are not quite so fortunate. The Linux and
BSDs have been doing a tremendous job in preserving the good ideas, but they
are pretty alone. The mainstream, windows, apple, google etc. are on their
own power trips. They do adapt what they choose from the *n*x sides
but not systematically.

Just a simple thing. I still miss enq-deq from tops20. This would
be a stellar tool for wide multiprocessing on 100+ processors.
